Sailor1234567890 Posted February 25, 2021 Share #134 Posted February 25, 2021 I see you placed deck planking under the forward trucks of the guns to get them to the proper height. Is that temporary until you lay the decking or will you be leaving it open like this? Stunning work you've done.

I put that little board under the front wheels of the guns simply because some wheels fell into the gaps between the beams.

Sailor1234567890 Posted March 16, 2021 Share #146 Posted March 16, 2021 Actually, I think he means the spindles above the quarter galleries. They are somewhat "bottle" shaped individually after all. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sailor1234567890 Posted March 22, 2021 Share #148 Posted March 22, 2021 Ah. Cool. Thanks. I wonder what the etymology of it is in French. Quarter Galleries are a gallery on the quarter of the ship so that's easy but why "Bottle" in French? mtaylor 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
